For Google Workspace for the U.S. Field we have two important announcements:

  1. U.S. Field Usernames have all been updated – To simplify the Google Workspace login experience, all U.S. Field staff single-sign-on (SSO) usernames have been updated so that they will match the newly @younglife.org Google Workspace email addresses. All U.S. Field staff should begin using their new usernames (refer to the October 20 email you received from the Google Workspace project team). 
  2. U.S. Field Google Workspace accounts will now arrive the week of November 16. We are moving the launch of Google Workspace by two weeks to allow for more engagement from regions and divisions. U.S. Field Staff can expect to receive Google Workspace login instructions the week of November 16.
